"The magnitude of a lie - and the enormity of its repercussions - can only be truly felt by the liar. For one particular liar alone at sea, this proved to be fatal." May 07, 2013 01:47AM

"Reads like a looong Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy RPG. I don't usually like fantasy but modern fantasy (I. E. traversing worlds ala Vision of Escaflowne) I can stomach despite the ridiculous names." Mar 07, 2013 06:58AM

Yukio Mishima
“Other people must be destroyed. In order that I might truly face the sun, the world itself must be destroyed....”
Yukio Mishima, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

Yukio Mishima
“Dreams, memories, the sacred--they are all alike in that they are beyond our grasp. Once we are even marginally separated from what we can touch, the object is sanctified; it acquires the beauty of the unattainable, the quality of the miraculous. Everything, really, has this quality of sacredness, but we can desecrate it at a touch. How strange man is! His touch defiles and yet he contains the source of miracles.”
Yukio Mishima, Spring Snow

Natsume Sōseki
“You seem to be under the impression that there is a special breed of bad humans. There is no such thing as a stereotype bad man in this world. Under normal conditions, everybody is more or less good, or, at least, ordinary. But tempt them, and they may suddenly change. That is what is so frightening about men.”
Natsume Soseki, Kokoro

Natsume Sōseki
“You see, loneliness is the price we have to pay for being born in this modern age, so full of freedom, independence, and our own egoistical selves.”
Natsume Soseki, Kokoro

George Orwell
“Either we all live in a decent world, or nobody does.”
George Orwell
